In either Station Wagon or Quartermaster pickup form, it takes the already capable Grenadier and turns it into a machine that looks like it could cross continents without ever seeing asphalt.The biggest draw is the portal axle setup from German off-road specialist LeTech. Portal axles are rare these days, but they give you serious ground clearance and off-road capabilities. The problem? Price. At about €170,000, or around $200,000, the LeTech version is a dream for most.AdvertisementAdvertisementFret not, as the British automaker has introduced a new Trailmaster X, and it’s built for people who want the hardcore Grenadier vibe without the sky-high price. You don’t get the wild portal axles, but you do get almost every off-road feature that actually matters, plus more comfort and premium touches for daily use.Ineos AutomotiveA More Premium Take on the Grenadier FormulaIneos says the Trailmaster X blends the rugged gear of the standard Trailmaster with the comfort upgrades of the Fieldmaster. The result? The brand’s most loaded Grenadier yet.Trailmaster X exclusives include 17-inch alloys, leather seats, heated fronts, a better sound system, carpet mats, privacy glass, safari windows, and a lockable storage box built into the spare wheel carrier.Under the nicer materials, you still get the off-road kit that defines the Grenadier. That means three locking differentials, a raised air intake, roof rails ready for accessories, a serious towing pack, water-resistant surfaces, utility rails, pre-wired electrics, and Recaro seats.AdvertisementAdvertisementBottom line: it’s still a real off-roader, just easier to live with since it skips the portal axles.Ineos AutomotiveFar Lower PricingLike the rest of the Grenadier range, the Trailmaster X runs BMW’s 3.0-liter turbo inline-six. In Europe, customers can choose between gas and diesel, but Americans only get the gasoline-fed B58.Ineos says the Trailmaster X starts at £75,995, or about $103,000 at current exchange rates. That’s roughly half the price of the portal-axle version, but you still get most of the off-road gear that you’ll actually need. That said, if you’re in the market for a Grenadier that can handle real trails, the Trailmaster X would be a good bet with its relatively attainable sticker.Ineos AutomotiveView the 4 images of this gallery on the original articleAdvertisementAdvertisementThis story was originally published by Autoblog on May 10, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
